The Vice President said the youths must build the future they desire by focusing on what is right.


Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has charged Nigerian youths to quit complaining about the country’s challenges. He, instead, urged them to move on.

He gave the charge on Monday during the National Youth Conference marking the 2021 African Youth Day in Abuja.

“The future will be what we make of it. Reject the temptation to inherit the biases and prejudice of your parents. Seize your opportunities to contribute your own quota to Nigeria.

“Seek the path of self-actualisation. Let the Nigerian dream be at the heart of what you do. Quit complaining. Move on. No matter what, move on!” he said.

The Vice President said the youths must build the future they desire by focusing on what is right.


According to him, building a nation is an inter-generational endeavour that requires the input of all, hence the need for youths to be innovative.

“Youth is the golden age of man. , progress is not made by looking back. You are at the most developed time in the history of the world.

“The future will be defined by your innovation. The new Nigeria you seek is defined by a progressive spirit and not prejudices,” Osinbajo added.

On the agitation for leadership, he said Nigerian youths should explore the right channels in communicating their grievances rather than resort to destruction and violence.

Osinbajo itted that there is a growing tension between the youths and the government. The VP, who itted that it is normal for people to feel disenchanted towards their leaders, however, noted that such disenchantment must be expressed and resolved peacefully.

He assured them that the government is striving to provide a favourable environment for the youths to thrive in their chosen endeavours.

The g of the Not-Too-Young-To-Run Bill into law by President Muhammadu Buhari three years ago is an indication of this istration’s willingness to carry the youth along in governance, he added.

"I know of no other set of people as obssessed with constant self-improvement as young Nigerians, at home and abroad, this drive to not just be better but to be the best that they can aspire to be is what defines us and makes us all very proud of you. Wherever you are in this country, whatever it is that you are doing, keep moving, don't look back, you will win eventually, keep moving ahead, whatever the situation, we move, whatever the situation we move, we move." - Prof. Yemi Osinbajo

Exact Words of VP Osinbajo.


We are trying, government needs to do more. Youths inclusion is Governance is lacking and it dominates 60% of our nation's population.

Online media are part of our problems in this country, VP never said move despite challenges.

What ever the situation, we move. Keep moving ahead~ VP .....a word of encouragement, that is how it sound.

Move on to where?
Under which environment?
The conducive or choking one?
Best option is to move out, check out like Andrew

I will Never give up on Nigeria inspite of her current troubles.
There is nothing you can do or say to make me give up. Do or say what you want and I will say or do what I want. We don’t have to agree but we can stay respectful of each other.

The wealth or poverty of a nation is created by the citizens. Instead of just complaining about everything, ask yourself what you have done to increase the wealth or poverty of your country.

This mere commissioner will just be cashing cruise with Naija youths.


Move on to where exactly?

Blaming game is now becoming generational things in Nigeria

We should stop complaining while your generation is squandering our common wealth and plundering generations yet unborn in uncommon poverty?

ok.

Hello nairalanders.
I am an experienced bolt driver based in abuja.

I am looking for a partner who can provide me a car to drive on Bolt platform,either on weekly remittance or hire purchase basis.

Thank you.

This man with his Aspire to Maguire talks everytime, you'd think he's not part of this useless government. Lol.

The youths should move on to where? When you and your principal have made it a point of duty to oppress the youths and suppress any avenue the youths can succeed through.

Why did you ban crypto transactions in the country; if not sheer wickedness and the fear that the youths will become independent and won't need you heartless politicians anymore.

Why did you guys order the killing of armless, innocent youths protesting at Lekki toll gate?

Why did you ban twitter?

Why are all your policies targeted at frustrating the youths and the masses in general?

The most foolish comment you'll hear from the Internet today when the environment is not conducive to doing anything. Mugu vp

Is he normally like this?

The way Osinbajo talks a times, you will think he has been living in another planet. The Nigerian youths should not complain.

They should fold their arms and watch their future being looted away.

They should fold their arms and watch their ancestral lands being taken from them by the Fulani herdsmen.

They should fold their arms and watch while their wives, mothers and sisters are being raped and killed.

Oga VP, this one is a low from you!

This man Sha, Una dey torture people and nah still same una dey talk like this, Nah brimstone go visit una lass lass.

Oh really. Move on to where exactly?

This man thinks its by just speaking English. Nigerians are resilient. They try to make opportunities out of every situation. But you politicians are striving to make conditions worse and you are saying move on

This is the person people are advocating for president.

Na this hand you want take be President?...

HOLLY GRAM WTF MAN

Nigerians masses voted you and Buhari to turn things for better. But you guys ended up making it extremely difficult to feed and survive in Nigeria today.
Now you have turned to motivational speaker.

# usual Arrant bullocks from the pastorpreneur

The redundant coupist is Nigeria's WORST BLUNDER!

Useless govt of self serving thieves and sadistic Tyrants

Hehehe.

I like this man,but if I were him na to just keep quite.
He should stop defending this failed government,even though he is part of it.

Why I will vote for him if he runs for president is that we know how powerless he is today under the present istration.

Egbadun. This man seems not a good option because it seems Nigerians would be fed with motivational quotes only during his dream tenure.

Please sir, E no go better for you sir.

Baba osinbajo .... Do u think it's easy sir to be born in poverty and what is even more worse to see that your leaders are looting more of your national wealth to make sure u don't escape poverty?

Wow, Osibanjo.

Talk is cheap, a baby doesn’t cry when they are happy, so VP, get your acts together and act right.

The future will be what we make of it.
Reject the temptation to inherit the biases and prejudice of your parents.
Seize your opportunities to contribute your own quota to Nigeria.

Our politicians are really cursed. They are so so senseless. This statement shouldn’t have been coming from the camp of those tormenting the youths . He should have let another say it
